My Dad did this one, when I was a little girl I used to ask my Dad what happened to his fingernails to make them so short and ugly he told me that he had fought in the Indian Wars in the 1800's and that the Indians had cut his fingernail off with a tomahawk. (My Dad used to make us watch John Wayne movies all the time so this seemed like somewhat plausible) For years I believed this cause why would my Daddy lie to me.. Then in school we were talking about the Indian Wars and me being me I had to open my big mouth luckily this was still in grade school so no one thought I was too crazy they just told my Dad to stop telling me stories like that.
A childhood belief about wars
others believed things like this

- I used to look for an Indian along the roadside because of signs that stated
"watch for fallen rock"— pam petry - My dad told me when I was little that my belly button was "Where the Indian shot me"Anon
- I used to think all wars lasted only 4 years, like college or something. Anon
- I used to think that world wars's were called war wars. So then World War II became War War II.— Maria
